Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang Destination Reviews

Overall pretty comfy journey. Only issues were on the top bunk near the back it felt pretty bumpy and unstable (you get used to to it after a few hours) and the aircon wouldn’t switch off so it gave me a nasty cold/cough. It also was like an hour late but I wasn’t too bothered. Plenty of stops for food

Was actually a good trip. Left about 5:30pm from Ho Chi Minh arrived in Da nang about lunchtime. Bus was clean and as described, we booked the VIP Cabin(had our own cabin seat). Seats are comfortable even for a long trip, I’m 6,2ft and couldnt quite straighten my legs but wasnt too bad. We did arrive at the pick up location which is a little office and waiting area, then transported by van to the bus about 30mins away. Once the bus left we had 2 stops, one just outside of Ho Chi Minh which had a little restaurant and again in the morning at another little restaurant. Nobody speaks english so just read the ques and figure it out. We had to go and ask for noodles or would have missed out. Come prepared with your own food and a few drinks, one bottle of water provided. The negatives would be as the other reviews stated, driving is typical. The music onboard was annoying, turned off for the sleeping part but on for long periods, bring earphones, a couple we meet brought a twin ticket which is just sharing a cabin. Some cargo was loaded inside. Overall I would do it again, just make sure you’re getting the Cabins for a long trip like this and come prepared

I got to the bus location about four hours early which was changed from the original pick up spot. Boarding the bus was a bit chaotic as it seemed no one knew what was going on. I asked one of the workers if the bus that was in front of me was my bus and he said no and then shortly after ran and told me it was my bus. Once we got moving, the bus broke down within an hour of the trip. We waited for about an hour or so until they fixed it. A number of hours after that the bus pulled over and no one was sure why and then we found out the bus had broken down again for approximately six hours. Not informed why or how long we’ll be waiting when I message the contact on WhatsApp he said he would let me know and never got back to me. Once things started rolling, the bus ride was enjoyable and the sleeper was very comfortable. We stopped and got food, which was pretty good.

Absolutely terrible experience. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The economics of this bus are so faulty, It's literally impossible to have a rest of any kind. Rude staff, stops at places with awfully dirty toilets. In short, avoid at all cost!

It was a good experience. The bus (sleeping room and bathroom) were clean. The price included meals. We stopped at some restaurants and had local food. Even though the bus stuff only spoke Vietnamese we were able to communicate. They were very friendly. We had a delay in the beginning but came earlier to our destination. If you’re picky you should were long clothes because I don’t think they wash the blankets which they offer for every cabin. Nevertheless I was able to sleep! I can recommend the company.

The operator didn't arrive on time, but it was out of his control - huge traffic jam and then flooding on the road (they handled it great, found another route the next day)

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
